Abstract Conventional criteria for the evaluation of thyroid nodules are inaccurate in identifying the small proportion of malignant neoplasms. The diagnostic accuracy of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FN AB) for cytology was therefore assessed in 562 patients with nodular thyroid disease, 373 of wh
